EVER is a subtle combination of basic and clinical research that is able to satisfy the expectations of both clinicians and researchers, which remains a challenge and one of our greatest ambitions. Listening to your feedback, attendees, speakers and pharma partners included, we have prepared with the commitment of our Program Secretary, Francesca Cordeiro, a new and con- densed format for 2018.

This year we will have the EUPO course on retina and vitre- ous diseases during our EVER meeting, another op- portunity to welcome our young colleagues. You are kindly invited to participate to the EVER 2018 meeting from Thursday October 4th to Satur- day October 6th in the exceptional venue of
